Astra (An Avengers FF)

Chapter 2 - My Hero?

*Emma's POV*

As I open my eyes again, I see a pair of blue eyes looking right into mine. It takes a few minutes to realize what happened. It's Captain America. He slowly pulls me up. "Are you okay?" He asks me. But I just froze, I didn't answer back. We share eye contact for a few minutes before a beep sound breaks the silence.

"Steve, you there? Are you alright?" A voice talks from around Captain's wrist.

"Yeah, yeah! I'm good. How's the scene?" He talks into it back.

"It's calming down. Let's focus on saving the people. A few are injured." The voice says back.

"Okay. I'm on it!" And with that he grabbed his shield and got away. He looked back at me for a moment, and then ran back.

I suddenly feel something prick me in my back, around my shoulder, right next to my neck. It felt like a mosquito bite. I ran my fingers over the spot, and felt something. I plucked it out and it hurt. It looked something like a needle. Maybe it came from the building crumbling down. I threw it away and started walking home. The situation calmed down in a few hours, and the city looked horrible with all this damage.

As I got back home, my mom rushed to me with worry on her face. Oh, I know what's going to happen next! "Honey! Are you alright, dear?" she asks. "Yeah, mom, I'm good." I say, reassuring her.

"But, were you there during the accident?" she asks questioning. Gosh, I hate these situations. My mom is too overprotective. I can't tell her that I was there. "No mom, I was at uni. When the scene died, I walked back home." I told her. "Oh thank god! Honey, be careful." she told me. "Yes mom. I will! Now can I go to my room? I'm tired." I told bored. "Yeah sure. I'll call you down when dinner's ready."she tells and gets to the kitchen. "Don't bother. I'm not hungry." I say back coldly and walk up the stairs to my room.

I'm the only child for my parents. That makes me always feel used with my friends, since I'm the only daughter of the great billionaire Fabian Michaels. That's why I don't have too many friends, because I don't trust others soon. But MJ, Peter and Ned are totally different and that's why we got so close in such a short time. They see me as a normal person regardless of my background, my dad, everything.

Yes, my dad's a billionaire. His science is more important to him than his family. I rarely see my dad. Because he comes home late every day, wakes up early and goes off to work, or sometimes even travels through the world often. He's currently working on this "important project" with Stark. My dad and Tony are best friends and partner holders of both the Fabian and Stark Industries. Tony is like family. He's much cooler than my dad.

I decided to take a cold shower before I went to bed. I let the water run along my body, enjoying as the cool water hit my skin. That's when my neck wound from before suddenly hurt. It pricked so bad, so I turned off the shower and decided to call it a day. My neck wound still hurt, but I just changed into my pajamas and went to bed, hoping that it would heal soon.
